Today, I was in a public toilet, enduring an extremely awkward silence between myself and the person in the next stall. In my rush to get out of there, I managed to get my ass stuck in the toilet seat, and ended up being pulled out by the maintenance men. FML

Maybe what OP meant was that they were both shitting and it got really quiet so it would be very awkward for one to continue what she was doing because the person in the next stall would hear. I know I feel weird peeing in a public bathroom if there is only one other person in there because I don't want them to hear my business.
